alrighty played 2 whole full rounds! yay!

but then i had to stop because the constant random screen blurring was making me nauseous.
Is the blurring a graphical bug or is it from the EMP UAV the commanders use?

That EMP mechanic really needs to be fixed, they can take our HUD away without all the blurred mess on screen.

At least they didn't make the engy gun require like 5 EOD bot kills in one round or something absurd like that.

if you turn screen blur off in the options does it fix this issue?

because i have mine down at like 10% and ive never noticed any annoying screen blur

"blur" is the misnomer for the red/green flash/"shiver" effect that's been randomly appearing since the patch. I actually hadn't thought that it might be related to an EMP or something like that, I suppose it's possible.

One thing I noticed after the patch it takes several seconds for a gun and gadgets and anything to "activate". I can move around, but that's it. Pretty annoying if I spawn into firefight.
Also, ground textures seem to initially appear as lower than low quality, and suddenly switch to proper form after a few seconds.

Had that "screen blur" effect yesterday. Thought I was getting suppressed with no one shooting at me. I did however just drop off from a chopper that was shot down. Doesn't seem like EMP or anything though as my red dot was still quite functional.

Yea, it felt a lot like suppression to me. But then it started happening in random place away from firefights. Not sure what's going on.

This was happening a lot to me this weekend. Spawn into game, have no body or weapon visible, watch as a pistol with no body attached to it runs past you as you are waiting for your weapon to appear.

Same here, ever since the patch I've been seeing that and it's driving me nuts. However, if it's some sort of EMP thing then at least that makes sorta sense.

Thanks for the info on the MTAR, I'll look for it next time I'm in game. Anyone have a list of all the China rising assignments and their requirements? I want to start working my way through all of them, including that defib kill. ugh.

It can't be the EMP. Unless the commander can set off an EMP literally every 10 seconds.

I have watched some commander gameplay, and it kinda looks like they can. Constant UAVs and EMPs. The blurring is annoying. That should be confined to the mini map, or if you are using a electrical device. Normal vision shouldnt be impaired. Assuming it is an EMP that is causing it.

I found a little trick with the Lancang Dam map... there is a small ledge about 3/4 way up the middle of the dam you can parachute onto which has magical properties. The roof of the tallest building is below you so you have a great commanding view and if you stand in the middle you are protected by some invisible wall. People will attempt to snipe you but you will see the bullets hit this imaginary wall before it can hit you, and you cannot shoot out from behind this wall either... BUT if you move toward the edge your gun sticks out of this wall allowing you to snipe and still be behind this wall. Try it!

It would be awesome if you reported it as a bug, rather than encouraging people to use glitches.

Where's the fun in that? :twisted:

Oh and I had my first encounter with an undisputed aimbot... everyone was complaining about this guy when I joined the server and I ignored it at first thinking they are just QQ but then I started seeing what he does. You know those thick vertical bars by the stairs at the ground level of the buildings they have on most maps? Well I was running by one and I got sniped - headshot - by the guy through those bars from the other side of the map. I was running perpendicular to him so even if he was camping there looking through the bars it would be extremely lucky to get a headhsot through them from that distance while I ran by. Then in the kill cam I saw he was standing still and he is rotating like a robot picking off others in all different angles. Checked his profile he has like 80% headhsots lol

I wrote his name down at home so I can see when he shows up on the punkbuster banned list, I'll post it once I get home

[Update] Actually I was able to log into Battlelog from here and see the history for the server to find him:
http://bf4stats.com/pc/SERGENT-jesus

When I looked last night his "Headshots/kill percentage" was 77.something %. His accuracy is not high but cant you game that by just shooting randomly or something?

Almost 500 kills with a gun in under one hour? I call bullshit... Smells of cheating allright.

His headshot percentage seems high, especially for LMGs. And his accuracy is higher with LMGs than it is with DMRs. I dont think I've ever seen a 4 KD player in BF that doesnt use vehicles. Probably is cheating.

the UAVs are too frequent. you have atleast one up at all times


commander mode is OK but needs some help

I havent seen any red/green flashing, that may be some type of graphic bug. The EMP effect causes a slight blurring effect kinda like being under suppression, it comes in waves and you will notice it right after you hear the EMP announcement.

Had that "screen blur" effect yesterday. Thought I was getting suppressed with no one shooting at me. I did however just drop off from a chopper that was shot down. Doesn't seem like EMP or anything though as my red dot was still quite functional.
It doesnt affect red dot sights and that is as it should be. Only in the COD world does it knock out your optics.

With two commanders there will be some highly contested areas with nearly constant EMP going on. And yes normal vision should not be impaired, they stole that garbage from CoD.
